[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean... This really lays the blame about 75% with the Union. The Mayor miscalculated politically and failed to engage enough with interested parties and to sell the plan... But the WTU really seems to have operated in bad faith throughout. Wow.[/quote]

Oh shut up. Teachers are too underpaid for this, even in DC. Quit with the 100k BS, the average is 60k. 20 years to get to 100k is NOTHING.

Boo hoo nurses have been working in person, ok what does that have to do with teachers specifically. What do hospitals and schools have in common besides corrupt leaders, unfair pay for the backbones (nurses, teachers)?

And wow only 39% of teachers did the sick out and you all were acting like it was 80-90%. In case you suck at math 39% isn't even half. The mayor KNEW what would happen if she didn't include the WTU in the beginning.

I am a preschool teacher who went back and then got covid, I survived (likely because I am 24 and healthy) and I'm not going back without a vaccine.
4 years of pay freezes, a classroom whose lights won't turn off, broken heater and air conditioner, broken toilet, no pull ups, etc. but woooooow we have an HVAC. FU. Fix our schools!

Wow. You’re clearly reacting to posters that aren’t me, but literally none of that responds to my actual point. You can think teachers shouldn’t go back for safety reasons (although it’s not just nurses, obviously, it’s like 70% of all employees in DC at the moment), but that doesn’t change the fact that the WTU appears to have negotiated in bad faith. Nothing in your diatribe suggests otherwise. By the way, blaming the WTU isn’t the same as blaming every individual teacher. But, also, you clearly have no idea where you got COVID and have constructed a narrative in your head about where you probably got it. It doesn’t really work like that.[/quote]

You're part of the issue, nasty white parent who has no idea about the history of DCPS and it's teachers.
It is not 70% but sure even if it was I really don't care. And the WTU represents teachers thus your comment is about teachers. I don't really care about what you think about me individually.

Also I assume I got it from school because I do not go out and when I do there's really no people around. My husband works from home, pretty simple.

You don't care about children, you just care about b*tching since now you can't gossip about other mundane things. If you cared you'd complain about the state many of our schools are in.[/quote]

Wow. You mentioned in a previous post you were thinking about quitting to accept another job or be a SAHM. I think it’s time you took a break from teaching if you’re this angry. It’s not good for you, the school you’re in, or anyone in your classroom. Yes, everyone was correct, teaching is a thankless job. Get out of it. [/quote]
